HttpClient timeout

[memelet]

I cannot for the life of me get HttpClient not to timeout, which makes debugging a real pain. Below is my configuration and the exception I see. Any help would be much appreciated.

    private WebServiceTemplate createHtpClientWebServiceTemplate() {
        WebServiceTemplate template = new WebServiceTemplate();
        template.setDefaultUri(protocol + "://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + context);
        template.setMarshaller(marshaller());
        template.setUnmarshaller(marshaller());
        CommonsHttpMessageSender messageSender = new CommonsHttpMessageSender();
        DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler retryHandler = new DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler(0, false);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER, retryHandler);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.HEAD_BODY_CHECK_TIMEOUT, -1);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getParams().setSoTimeout(0);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getHostConfiguration().getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER, retryHandler);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getHostConfiguration().getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.HEAD_BODY_CHECK_TIMEOUT, -1);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER, retryHandler);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.HEAD_BODY_CHECK_TIMEOUT, -1);
        messageSender.getHttpClient().getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setSoTimeout(0);

        template.setMessageSender(messageSender);
        return template;
    }

I am not sure whether the HttpClient params returned by Commons HTTP Client are mutable. What you can try is to create a new HttpClient, set up the parameters, and inject that into the CommonsHttpMessageSender constructor.

Good idea. I changed to the below, but still get a timeout in about 30 seconds...

        DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler retryHandler = new DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler(0, false);
        HttpClientParams clientParams = new HttpClientParams();
        clientParams.setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER, retryHandler);
        clientParams.setParameter(HttpMethodParams.HEAD_BODY_CHECK_TIMEOUT, 600000);
        clientParams.setSoTimeout(600000);
        clientParams.setConnectionManagerTimeout(600000);
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient(clientParams);
        CommonsHttpMessageSender messageSender = new CommonsHttpMessageSender(client);

Hmm, very weird. You could try searching the Httpclient archive here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_...tpclient-user/, or sending a mail to httpclient-user@jakarta.apache.org

Yes, weird, but as a famous philosopher once said ~"There are no contradictions in reality. If you think you see a contradiction, look to your assumptions. One of them is wrong."

My assumption was that httpclient was timing out, where in reality it was the eclipse tcp monitor/interceptor plugin that was timing out and returning a bogus status. Once I took that out of the loop for the tests, timeouts in httpclient works as specified. FYI all eclipse tcp monitor plugin users...

How do i take out the tcp monitor/interceptor plugin from eclipse
